SOME sniper rifles have better range and accuracy than upgraded AEGs, especially since they have a higher fps limit (some sniper rifles shoot 470 and dont outrange guns shooting 365, depends on your internals, wether its gas or spring, blah blah blah), gas guns are also very quiet.
Other than the gun the rest of the advantages are strictly player based: your ability to hit targets at range, the fact your quiet and can hear everyone around you, depending how well you make your ghillie you can blend in real well.
the disadvantages are: with bolt action rifles you can only fire 1 shot at a time, and with any sniper rifle you usually cant engage under a certain distance so you have to buy a (usually full auto) backup weapon. Even with a backup weapon, you better be a fast runner because in airsoft the best tactic to take out snipers is to rush them.
